A 3-day NASA animation of satellite imagery showed the movement and end of former Tropical Storm Cindy.

The animation, created by the NASA/NOAA GOES Project at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland used infrared and visible data from NOAA’s GOES-East satellite from June 22 to June 24. The animation shows Tropical Storm Cindy after landfall in southwestern Louisiana and it’s progression through the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys, ending in its exit from the New England states into the Atlantic Ocean.

At 11 a.m. EDT on Saturday, June 24, NOAA’s National Hurricane Center noted that there was no discernible surface circulation associated with Cindy. By that time, the remnants of Cindy had moved off the southern New England coast, and much of the heavy rainfall associated with the system was quickly coming to an end across Southern New England. A cold front approaching from the west continued to keep lingering showers across parts of New England.

By the end of the day on June 24, Cindy’s remnants had moved into the Atlantic Ocean.
